WHY DO YOU LIKE AND COLLECT MATCHES?

I’m a big collector of things in general. As a creative I like to surround myself with items that inspire me, as if my home decor was an actual moodboard. Matches for me are like coffee table books, they give that extra personal touch to my house, bringing up memories from different places or people.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE ONES AND WHY?

I don’t have a specific brand I feel more attached to. This is more something that I collect randomly, from the classic Sakerhets Tandstickor stolen from my parents' house, to my dear @lecafedeflore one that reminds me of the many drinks and time spent there with my friends, to more curated ones that I bought during work trips or holidays just because I liked the colors or the design.

WHEN AND HOW DO YOU LIKE TO ENJOY YOUR MATCHES?

Matches for me are a moment of sharing, from lighting a candle while enjoying a silent evening by myself to the occasional cigarette shared with a friend during a cozy dinner at home.
